Many Of the Republican paper.
have Of late been discussing tue
availability Of running either young
Bob Lincoln or young Fred Gran,
for the Presidency. and now the
New York Tribune says:
III. AZ ia probable, Fred Grant
is nominated for Secretary Of State,
by the Republicans of New York.
ao opportunity will then be afford
ed to attest the sentimental avail
ability OF . candidacy resting on
public gratitude for the distin-
guisbsd patriotic services OF the
father"
In other words. Fred 10 to be .
dummy. and run on the record Of
his father. which shows plainly
enough that any sort Of . nincom-
poop will suit the Republicans for
President. 90 long a. they will get

INDIANA'S FUNERAL DIRECTORS.
They Hold Their Annual Meeting and Dis
cusS Features of Their Business.

About fifty funeral directors from all parts of
the State attended the annual meeting of the
association in this city yesterday. The meeting
was held Wrlght's Hall and began at IL o'clock.
with J. l.. Lippencott, Of Richmond. presiding.
The association has been in existence for several
years, but difficulty in getting the members to
act in unity has been experienced. A discrimi-
nation is made in prices by manufacturers
in favor of the men doing the most bust
ness, and consequently the undertakers
in the small towns imposed upon. 1t was
for their benefit that an effort was made to
agree upon a scale of prices. The matter will
come up for discussion again at to-day's session.
The burial of paupers was also discussed, and
some steps to be taken looking to the estab
fishing of regulation prices The burial of the
poor is now let by bids, and in counties
they buried for almost nothing. resolution
was introduced providing scale of prices, under
which no member of the association will be al
lowed to bid, and it will come up for action to-
day.
Last night all the delegates, some of them
with their families, were rendered a reception by
Mr.. Charles E. Kregelo at his residence. One
hundred guests were present Orchestral music
was furnished for the occasion. and refreshments
were served. Mr.. Thomas Gladey, of Rochester,
delivered very interesting address, and Berthe
Feibleman gave recitations. The convention
will be in session to-day, and will elect officers
this afternoon.
